Non-destructive Determination of Age and Species of Anopheles gambiae s.l. Using Near-infrared Spectroscopy
1 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Determining malaria vector species and age is crucial to measure malaria risk. Although different in ecology and susceptibility to control, the African malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto and An. arabiensis are morphologically similar and can be differentiated only by molecular techniques. Furthermore, few reliable methods exist to estimate the age of these vectors, which is a key predictor of malaria...
